I did like the article Petra. A couple of things though.

Petra: it is precisely fundamentalism and war (in part caused by relentless Western bombing) that the refugees are escaping!

No mention of Head lopping, Burning in Cages, Throat Cutting, Mass Shootings, etc, as a reason for Refugees escaping. Why not?

Petra: why can't progressive (liberal) westerners define and defend their own tradition?

They do but are silenced by the Politically Correct, Lefties & others of their ilk.

Do you think you could join the Conversation? Nah...

SOL: Was that a pig I just saw flying by the window?

It was a pig, I taught I saw a pig, I did, I did see a Pig fly past the window. A big Lefty, Feminist Pig. You are so lucky Suze. Was it ducking for cover.

So Suze, you agree it was the Germans fault not the moslems?

Plantagenet: I wonder if our own Sarah Hanson Young would dare see conflicts between her unregulated immigration cause and safety of unescorted women?

Yes, we haven’t heard from her for a while & certainly nothing on this subject. Strange.

Good article but with some reservations...

Once again we see the usual "Its only a few" (quote: "fundamentalists are not representative of the great majority of Muslims either in their own countries or as migrants"). The Muslims that join the radicals and terrorists always come from the 'great majority', never from Lutherans, athiests, Catholics or Rotarians.

No, it is all Muslims. They all accept the hate and violence in the Quran. They all have no problems with the evil deeds of Mohammed; and they never stand up to the so-called fundamentalists in their own countries.

The fact is that Muslims are unable to reflect on Islam (the Quran says "Do not ask questions") so they have no ability to understand basic notions of morality as understood in the West. In Islam, nothing is really wrong accept unbelief.

As to Cologne, what do you expect of people that are taught and blindly accept that women are dirt (actually the Quran says that wives are a field for the man to plow). In other words, dirt.

And people expect what? What Muslims will change? that a few lessons or condemnations will reform Islam? That we are will live peacefully in mutual respect, singing kumbayah?

Note that in the UK, the Guardian, that pillar of left-wing liberal, post-modern, feminist thought, has announced that it will no longer accept public comments underneath articles on race, immigration, and Islam. The reason, according to the ultra-progressive newspaper, is that such topics attract an “unacceptable level of toxic commentary.”

Your opinions are not welcome. We are doomed.

I also notice how little press has been give to the fact that numerous schools have been in lock down or evacuated over the last few days. The leftist press including the abc are a disgrace. They hold little interest in the welfare of our country but only exist to promote their perverted worldview. Truth is a swear word to them.

Sweden, that wonderfully Progressive nation, lauded for its Socialist policies, is considered the rape capital of Europe. I don't believe the average native Swede (as in ethnically and culturally Swedish) is particularly predisposed towards violence towards women, however what has happened over the last few decades is that they have opened their borders to refugees and immigrants from Islamic countries. The end result being their rape statistics have gone through the roof, and places like Malmo, have been virtual no-go zones.

No wonder that Germany (who opened the floodgates to Muslim refugees and immigrants alike) is now experiencing what Sweden has been going through for years.

As for Muslims being a victim group? Personally I don't hold with collective victims. Victims should be assessed individually and their personal situation and circumstance examined to confirm their claim. To say that groups are collectively victims, gives them too much power by the State, and enables the bullies and criminals within the group, giving them virtually a free pass to act badly with no consequence to their actions.

you highlight so well why 'progressives'is really regressive. Just look at the degradtion caused by porn. The regressives call taking nude shots of young girls art while the rational call it pornography. The 'progressives' have always twisted language because they want to disguise what they really stand for.

The silence from such lefty femonazis as Sarah simply proves that she has one and she is one.
